Citroën 2CV returns after 35 years out of production

The original Citroën 2CV was in production all the way from 1948 to 1990. And after 35 years off the assembly line, the car is returning, writes the media.

It should be good enough – after 35 years off the assembly line, the Citroën 2CV is back on the drawing board at the French car brand.

It usually writes so well-informed Autocar .

According to the media outlet, Citroën's design director Pierre Leclercq will neither confirm nor deny whether the French brand is working on a new 2CV.

The things you remember from Citroën are not specifically that the shape of the cars that work (have sold well, ed.) has been changed. But we are not closing the door on anything. Because I think the philosophy is important.

Autocar writes that Citroën has taken the initiative for a new 2CV after Renault has come out with both a new Renault 5 and 4. Both models were in production at the same time as the original 2CV.

But unlike the new Renault 5, which the brand believes is the result of what the car would have looked like if it had continued right up to today, the new Citroën should be just as much of the original.

To keep costs down, Citroën will apparently build a new 2CV on an existing platform. Autocar understands that the French will use the same technology that underpins the Citroën C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the new Opel Frontera.

The new Frenchman won't be a rocket, even though there are no positive or negative words to be found in the mouths of the leading Citroën people. Instead, the car – just like its predecessor – will focus on being as economical and frugal as possible.

It is not inconceivable that a new 2CV will therefore be cheaper than the ë-C3, which is currently the car brand's cheapest offer for an electric car. Also on the Danish market .
